| * Announcing the Go Community Outreach Working Group |
| |
| The Go project has grown considerably with over half a million users and |
| community members all over the world. To date all community oriented activities |
| have been organized by the community with minimal involvement from the Go |
| project. We greatly appreciate these efforts. |
| |
| After talking to many community organizers we have heard consistent |
| feedback that they would like better collaboration between organizers and |
| the Go project. We are forming the Community outreach Working Group (CWG) |
| to help support these community efforts. |
| |
| * The CWG Mission |
| |
| The mission of the CWG is to act as a conduit between the broader Go |
| community, it’s organizers and the Go project. The CWG will help provide |
| the structures and community management necessary to create an online and |
| in person community that is enjoyable and rewarding to participate in. The |
| CWG leadership represents the Go project in these efforts. |
| |
| *The*CWG*is*responsible*for:* |
| |
| - Defining programs to facilitate deeper collaboration across the community. |
| - Facilitating the coordination of Go events |
| - Establishing growth and expansion plans for the community |
| - Project exposure and accessibility |
| - Ecosystem Development |

| The CWG has an [[https://github.com/golang/cwg][open GitHub repo]] we’ve created for complete transparency |
| of our efforts. We have various [[https://github.com/golang/cwg/projects][GitHub projects]] which are acting as our |
| primary initiatives. Each project has a variety of [[https://github.com/golang/cwg/issues][issues]] tied to them |
| with assignees from our Leadership team and [[https://github.com/golang/cwg/issues/15][our members]]. |
